	Lyra Belacqua - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Lyra is an unruly child and often exasperates those who try to care for her, such as the Jordan housekeeper and her tutors.
		Lyra earns the name Lyra Silvertongue when she fools Iofur Raknison, the King of the Bears, by telling him that she is the dæmon of Iorek Byrnison and that she is willing to change sides for the "strongest bear".
		It transpires that Lyra's destiny is to be literally the second Eve, and fall into the temptation of the serpent, or Mary Malone.

	Paolo and Francesca
		Lyra's temptation would have found her earlier had she and Pan not spent the day wandering the streets and alleyways of Oxford's quayside, breathing in the thick, vegetative smell of standing water, the scent of a summer river grown slow with weeds and waterborne debris.
		Lyra had read about this in the journals, all the time trying not to think of two things: Roger's face on the night of the rending and the possibility that part of her world still lay open to the worlds beyond, to Will's world.
		Lyra thought suddenly of a passage she had read in a book by a long-dead Florentine, a book she was supposed to have read last winter term, but that in truth she had only skimmed between alethiometry lessons.

		Lyra Belacqua (Silvertongue) believes she is an orphan, left to the care of the scholars in Oxford's Jordan College.
		What Lyra doesn't realize is that her father needs Roger to accomplish his goal, which is also the very thing for which he was imprisoned - he wants to create a bridge to another world, one of numerous multi-verses.
		When Lyra finally finds him, with Roger at her side, Roger is kidnapped to become the requisite sacrifice; separating him from his daemon will generate the energy necessary to create the portal.

	Philip Pullman, His Dark Materials
		Lyra, who begins the book as an orphan, quickly discovers that she is destined to shake the Church's rule and bring about great changes in her world; she also learns that she is not an orphan and that her father is a powerful Lord.
		Will and Lyra fall deeply and passionately in love, but in order for the Universe to be healed and whole, they must each return to their own worlds and live out their lives alone, never to meet again.
		Lyra and Will make a sacrifice that is ultimately holy by any religious standards -- giving up their love and chance of a relationship for the greater good of the many worlds -- but without any deeper meaning, this sacrifice is empty and useless.

		Lyra and her daemon, Pantalaimon, are now lost in an alternate universe where they meet Will Parry, a fugitive from a third universe.
		Lyra's finest qualities, her courage and quick mind, are stretched to the limit as she has to lie, cheat and steal to keep herself and Will out of danger.
		The book contrasts Lyra's universe which is run by a clerical bureaucracy dominated by the church and the nonchalant, free 20th century reminiscent of our own.

	Philip Pullman: Lyra's Oxford
		As Lyra works to help the dæmon, she uncovers mysteries in Oxford which tell her about herself, the city and her relationship to it.
		Pullman makes it clear that what has gone before is still affecting Lyra and her associates and will continue to do so as her life (and books about her) continue.
		Nevertheless, it serves as a good introduction to Lyra and Oxford, if not to her world at large and her place in the greater scheme of things.

	Allscifi.com Book Review
		This second book ranges across three parallel Earths: the one from the first book that featured Lyra, the one we know in which we meet 11-year-old Will Parry, and a third one where most of the grownups have been sucked dry of life by Spectres who cannot be seen by and cannot hurt children.
		Still in possession of the alethiometer, Lyra joins forces with Will, who gradually learns that he is destined to be the bearer of the "subtle knife," whose powers are tremendous and miraculous.
		Lyra is still searching for her father, Lord Asriel, and trying to guess his plans, while Will hopes to find his father, John Parry.

	Sequential Tart - The Report Card
		Lyra's Oxford is a delightful, freestanding appendix to Philip Pullman's His Dark Materials trilogy (The Golden Compass, The Subtle Knife and The Amber Spyglass), set in a universe where the multiple worlds theory is a reality.
		In the story in question, Lyra and the Birds, Lyra and Pantalaimon, her pine-marten daemon (everyone in her world is accompanied by an animal that epitomizes them) encounter an intriguing new character and find themselves the focal point of an old conflict they did not think ever involved them.
		Lyra's Oxford is constructed to look and feel as if it were an artifact blown in from a parallel universe, a universe which invites a revisit or two.

	The SF Site Featured Review: The Subtle Knife
		Lyra Silvertongue is also in Cittagazze with her magical compass, having fled her own world.
		Lyra goes in search of an Oxford Scholar and finds Dr. Malone, a physicist trying to answer the same questions as those of Lyra, but with theoretical physics instead of theological magic.
		When a fog descends for weeks at a time, Pullman writes that "there are few natural philosophers as frustrated as astronomers in a fog." When one of the few remaining Cittagazze adults explains how the Specters entered their world, Pullman plays on the differing meaning of the word "bonds" to a banker and a physicist.

		The principal heroine Lyra is famous for being a liar, her eventual friend Will, abandons his half crazed mother to search for his explorer father who disapeared mysteriously.
		Lyra’s own mother is a torturer, her father a disgraced grandee who seems bent on challenging the very authority of God.
		And Lyra's father isn't crazy to want to argue with God himself, because so much mayhem is loosed in the world in his name, or the name of other gods.

		Lyra's world is falling apart and so rules have been broken already - she has to use all means at her quite extensive disposal.

		In the opening, for example, Lyra is being hidden and kept in a drugged sleep in a Himalayan cave by her mother, the beautiful and treacherous Mrs.
		Will and Lyra's answer to this is to offer them a window out through the use of the subtle knife, where they can disperse into their component atoms and return to the "dust" from which they were made.

		While the Church of Lyra’s world is emphatically not the Catholic Church of our world, it is strongly based upon it.
		Lyra’s alethiometer, a ouija-like device, early on explains that her fate is linked to Will’s, despite what seems like a completely chance encounter on a world which is not native to either.
